Outlander star Sam Heughan's fans beg him to be careful as he buys new custom Harley

Outlander and Men In Kilts star Sam Heughan looked every bit the pin up biker boy as he showed off his brand new custom made Harley Davidson.

Sam, who was dressed in black, white, and orange Harley Davidson themed motorbike leathers posed alongside Harley Davidson staff as he showed off his new bike.

Sam got hold of the bike which starts at £17,000 through West Coast Harley and is in the process of getting it customised in some bespoke colours.

He told followers on social media: "Thanks to the awesome team @westcoastharley finally got my hands on a Fat Bob Custom. Can’t wait to show you the new paint job!"

Sam's choice of paint is still a mystery but some are wondering if he's going to get it in his own tartan, albeit a harder oaint job than usual.

Sam also said he wants to take part in the NC500 - North Coast 500 which is Scotland's answer to Route 66.

Dubbed the ultimate road trip, it is complete with fairytale castles, breathtaking views and white sandy beaches over a516-mile (830 km) scenic route around the north coast of Scotland, starting and ending at Inverness Castle.

Sam completed his full motorcycle licence in Scotland in August after taking lessons for almost a year.

He sat the first of the two-part exam with his test centre in Rutherglen before the country went into lockdown in March due to Covid restrictions.

He then had to wait until tests were back up and running again at the beginning of August for his chance to get out on the road for the final part.

On hearing news about his purchase, fans were concerned that Sam look after himself.

One said: "Very nice bike. Please be careful and always wear your gear. Always. It’s very heartbreaking to take care of patients who don’t use their gear. Your fans and family would miss you."

Another added: "Attention the Highland roads, here he comes !"

Others felt it was the perfect pairing with one saying: "Wow it look so cool!! enjoy Sam."
